Overview

A linear walk from Halfway Tram terminus through the gently rolling wooded Moss Valley, ending at Birley Lane from where a short tram ride will take us back to Halfway.

With steady inclines and just one easy stile, this walk is mainly on established woodland and field paths which will be muddy in places especially after rain.

No toilets en route other than as patrons of the pub where we stop for lunch, and sadly the tram is not dog friendly.
